Barzani Rejects
Postponement of Kirkuk Issue -
(Al-Mutamar)
During his meeting with President Jalal Talabani in
Dukhan, Iraqi Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani
affirmed the application of Article 58 of the
interim law and rejected postponing it by any means.
Talabani supported Barzani's announcement, promising
that he will try his best to apply that article as
soon as possible. He also affirmed the establishment
of a special committee to normalize the situation in
Kirkuk. He rejected a postponement of the Kirkuk
issue until the end of writing the constitution
because the issue is already decided by the
Americans, the British, the ex-prime minister, and
the ex-head of parliament.

De-Ba'athification Committee Head Blames Allawi
- (Addustour)
(Addustour) Lawmaker Falah Hassan, head of the De-Ba'athification
Committee, said the task of the group is to erase
Ba'ath ideologies from Iraqis minds. He added there
are some Ba'athists who killed Iraqis and who still
practice corruption and looting public property. He
said Iyad Allawi's government gave chances to the
Ba'athists to carry out their past practices and
give information to insurgents to kill more Iraqis.
